Exciting news is coming out of South Africa’s cricket world as Proteas T20I captain Aiden Markram and his wife, Nicole Danielle Markram, are expecting their first child. The couple, who have shared glimpses of their life with fans for years, announced the happy news on Instagram.
Nicole shared a beautiful set of black-and-white photos showing her baby bump, with Aiden resting his hands on it. The simple and heartfelt post quickly went viral, drawing warm messages from fans, fellow cricketers, and the wider cricket community.
High school sweethearts turn parents
Aiden and Nicole’s story is truly special. They began dating in high school and supported each other through Aiden’s cricket journey, from captaining South Africa’s U19 team to World Cup glory to becoming a key player in the senior national side.
They tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in July 2023, and until now, their social media posts often featured updates about their dogs, whom they lovingly call their “first children.” Nicole, an entrepreneur, runs the successful jewelry brand.
